EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Rafael Nadal beat Roger Federer 7-5 in an exhibition match at the University of Oregon's new $227 million basketball arena Tuesday night.
Two days before the start of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., some of the biggest names in tennis were in this Pacific Northwest college town.
Joining Nadal, the No. 1 player in the world, and Federer, who is No. 2, at the Clash of the Champions were Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka.
All are Nike-sponsored athletes.
John McEnroe was a surprise guest at the event.
The Matthew Knight Arena was built with the financial backing of Nike co-founder and Ducks booster Phil Knight.
